Use a coin or flathead screwdriver to turn the locking screw of the battery cover counterclockwise a half turn. Remove the cover and remove the battery from the compartment.

2.      Remove the Phillips screws inside the empty battery compartment. Remove the L-shaped bracket inside the battery compartment. Remove the Phillips screws revealed by the L-shaped bracket. Remove the 10 Phillips screws that line the outer edge of the laptop case. Then, remove any remaining visible case screws at the bottom of the laptop.

3.      Flip the laptop over and open the billboard. Grasp the top edge of the keyboard assembly and lift the keyboard off the laptop a bit.
